Review - French Entre les proces de sorcellerie qui secouent l'Angleterre de 1612 a 1616 et le plus grand scandale de la dynastie Stuart, Thomas Middleton ecrit une tragicomedie qui, peut-etre en raison de son audace, est aussitot condamnee a l'oubli, dont elle ne sortira qu'a la fin du XVIIIsiecle. Car, dansLa Sorciere, Middleton n'epargne rien ni personne : adultere et debauche des courtisans, achat de titres de noblesse et passe-droits, grossesses et accouchements clandestins et meme le vice du tabac font que les frasques des sorcieres finissent par faire pale figure en comparaison. Middleton, qui avait coecritTimon d'Athenesavec Shakespeare, nous livre ici une satire au vitriol, aux intrigues savamment enchevetrees et a l'humour grincant.
